Kevin recently asked me if I could provide him with some tips and suggestions on how to make a case for WordPress within the context of a ministry and non-profit organization. I told him a few Fortune 500 companies that use it for their online properties but I then shot him this list of government organizations that leverage WordPress.
This is exceptionally cool since not only do these organizations believe in the feature set of WordPress to handle their needs but also in the ability to make them secure. If you’re trying to make a case for WordPress then you could probably start with this list:
- Air Force
- Army
- Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
- Coast Guard
- Defense Intelligence Agency
- Department of Energy
- Department of Homeland Security
- Department of State
- Department of Treasury
- Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)
- Marine Corps
- Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
- National Geospatial Intelligence Agency
- National Reconnaissance Agency
- National Security Agency (NSA)
- Navy
Impressive.
WordPress is growing. It’s here to stay. There are other great Open Source platforms out there as well but WordPress is definitely worth a look.
Good luck on developing your “case” Kevin!

I wonder what the Marine Corps does to those responsible for comment spam. Can we declare war on them?
hahaha, as much spam as I get I hope they do not declare war on them, taxes will be tripled.
wordpress isn't scalable for huge ERP and CRM systems… thoughts?
I think this makes the case for wordpress completely dominating any other blogging platform.
Simple interface and the chance to go beyond the simple for others makes it the best.
And all that security stuff as well.
Man… that is one impressive list! I had no idea!
I've worked with DNN and WordPress… and there's no contest there, but I'm sure everyone knew that. I heart WordPress.

I know this is not really the topic of the post, but I was wandering if you (or anyone who is wordpress savvy) could post a massive list of useful wordrpress plugins.
There are so many it is hard to decide what to do.
So maybe a list of “100 interesting plugins for wordpress” or something similar might be cool…
it really depends on what you’re looking for in terms of use.
i could give a list, but man, it would be so dependent on particular functions and needs.
tough! lots to choose from.
Thanks for putting that list together! WordPress rocks doesn’t it?
that it does.
